Marathon STEM & Robotics Center

Texas City ISD

The new Texas City STEM & Robotics Center is located behind the existing Industrial Trades Center and will serve all students, K-12. This unique space will provide opportunities for students to experience new learning environments that will stimulate knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and math studies.

Marathon Oil, a local industry partner, has generously donated $1M to this project and is an active participant in the development of the building and curriculum in this center. The goal is for all students to identify potential career fields that they are qualified to study and may carry them beyond graduation from high school.

Robotics is at the heart of this new STEM facility. The district plans to host Robotics competitions in the open, flexible arena. There will be a Fabrication Lab that provides for both metal and woodworking. Additionally, a high-end computer lab will support the advanced engineering courses planned to be offered at this new facility.
